Town Parks Fishery Catch Report w/e 9/6

Fishing started to return to normal after the fish in both the Match and Specimen Lakes spawned during the early part of the week at Town Parks Fishery.

The lower Specimen Lake saw Catfish continue to feed throughout the spawning although the Carp were more hesitant to feed. That said some good Carp came to the net.

On peg 6 Mark Beilby fished his first session since a long layoff and enjoyed a hectic session. Beilby banked 6 Carp on red Cell boilies during his overnight session.

All the fish were good doubles with the best a fine 24lbs 2oz Common in immaculate condition! Beilby believes he caught the same fish, a 18lbs 5oz Mirror, twice during the night!

In peg 5 Kingsbridge rod Richard Clarkson fished mid water and netted a couple of good Leathers, the best 15lbs 8oz.

Plymouth rod Chris Stevens fished Luncheon meat to attract the Catfish from peg 13 and his plan worked! Stevens took four Cats all over 20lbs the best a good 25lbs 6oz!!

On the top Match Lake sport was a little more sporadic with the fish going on and off the feed and from peg to peg!

Some good Carp did hit the net but most anglers were left frustrated as the fish basked in the sunshine!!

Silvers continued to feed from most pegs although they also went on and off the feed!

With the spawning now out of the way the action should pick up on both Lakes as the weather conditions change!
